It looks fine if you care about getting stuff done instead of making your ultimate waifu theme.

No glitches as of yet, not a single crash or anything.

Windows 10 will become non-genuine because I used windows loader

I'm done with windows spying.

I got an 8.1 tablet on black friday.
Can't start it without a M$ account (there used to be a small option)
Can't get a M$ account without giving them your phone number.
Fuck them. Defiantly not ever getting WiNSA 10.

Try to make a system image
>you need a blank flash drive, at least 4gb
>sd card not an option
So I got a 16gb flash drive and adapter
>cannot use flash drive because not NTFS
reformat NTFS
>not a valid backup device
But now I see its going to let me backup to the SD card if it's at least 10gb
>creating backup
Woo fucking hoo
>insert into drive D: blank media at least 1gb
Fuck

I've dug out an old 2gb SD card but haven't tried it again.
May just network backup, or say fuck it.

Last M$ device and OS, EVER. Still use win 7 on a laptop, need office 365 for reasons that will end soon.
Posting with mint.
>>
>>51897491
I just bought a win 7 pro oem for refurb pc license so I can upgrade to 10 with it. Still waiting a few more days before it gets delivered.

Although I don't really care because I don't need it installed until March when DX12 games start coming out.
>>
>>51897990

Dude, you never use the horrible first party system utilities they give you in Windows, especially freaking backup.

There are so many better free options without all those issues you have.
>>
My PC restarts itself when using w10 for whatever reason. So, I don't use it.
>>
For some reason I'm having really annoying issues with nvidia drivers + firefox new versions (40+) + windows 10.

Redraw / repaint issues on tabs.

Installed firefox 36 - everything works fine without a single redraw glitch.

What the fuck?

Why do you have to announce windows 10, just use it, if you say it makes your productive then you would not be posting on 4chan.

You don't see me making threads on why I use my OS do you? No, then stfu.

Use it at home, can't upgrade at work till all the software has official support or we are paying a maintenance subscription for nothing. Shame because it all works just fine according to everyone else who has upgraded.

I have been using 8.1 on my desktop for a year. I use Classic shell to completely hide the metro UI.
Is there a good reason not to switch to W10 ?

the correct upgrade cycle goes 2k -> vista -> embedded 7 -> server 2016

everything else is shit

thank you for you're time

(not who you originally replied to)
It is slow, I decided recently to leave my lovely *nix world on one of my computers so:

1. I could get some more Windows experience/be more comfortable with the system

2. I wanted to get better performance in a game that in the past always played better under windows.


Unfortunately the OS on a whole seemed really strangely slower, stupidly I didn't stop at 8.1(which I remember performing just fine in the past) on my way to 10. The game was just as annoyingly slow as on the Linux port for my shitbox unfortunately, so I've had to waste my time moving back to *nix again because fuck that shit.

(Also I went through the trouble of slimming down the windows defaults(services etc) hoping for better performance but all I could really get was a few hundred more MBs of RAM which didn't change anything)


I have no idea what has happened but I definitely do not remember it being this slow before.
>>
I know what I'm doing.
>>
Currently using server 2008 r2. No upgrade to 10 bullshit, fast and reliable and aupported for a long time. After end of support probably switch to server 2016. The most important thing i miss after 7/2k8 is classic theme.
>>
using arch linux

no reason to use anything else, why change what works for the sake of it

got it installed as a dual boot though, from the little use I've gotten out of it, it's meh. Nothing special.

if you bought the tablet online it's already activated
and you can connect it to wifi after the setup and it works just fine
>>
>>51901353

Guess if you buy it online, they already know who you are.

Because Funtoo is better.

When it's installing, my computer freezes and then goes back to windows 7

I've got 7 Ultimate.
Everything works, no need to "upgrade".

Maybe if it had some features I'd actually use.
>queue up file transfers between drives (both local and network) in a transfer manager instead of having 10 boxes displaying progress
>a way to easily edit context menus to weed out the 50+ options I never use when right-clicking a file
>animated .gif support, .webm, etc. in the default shit viewer
>some other things I can't remember right now
>>
>>51901350
>>7gb used on 8gb on idle

You must be retarded.

I'm running a jewtube flash player + browser + steam + audio player + utorrent and some oher stuff and only 3 gb are being used.
>>
>>51897491
>What's your excuse
I would have no benefit with my 4yr-old W7 machine, and non-optional updates would mean that I don't get to control my own system anymore. Not to mention that the W8 upgrade was incompatible with having an existing TrueCrypt configuration, so the W10 upgrade probably is too. I think this is a hard pass for me.
What would I even get that is of any use from it? Some shitty voice-assisted search that I don't want or need?

What planet are you on? 10 has about 5 horrible bugs per hour. 20 if you count display scaling.

I got rid of the GWX updates and shut my shit down so Microsoft couldn't tell me what to do anymore.
That's my excuse.

I like 7 just fine and I don't bother with the newest games anyway.

I'll probably just move over to Linux when I need a new OS.
>>
>>51897727
This honestly, privacy issues aside W10 is functional and great.
>>
Tbh I installed it, it stalled on an update and would reboot 10+ times never completing it every time I shut down. Now I just use debian stable it's great.
>>
>>51897491
Sif not Linux for programming.
